Kama Sutra of VatsyayanaFree Version from4 Freedoms TantraNote from 4 FreedomsRelationship TantraThis document includes the complete text of the 1883Burton/Arbuthnot translation of theKama SutrabyVatsyayana. All footnotes attached are from the translation.There are links from the table of contents directly to theindividual chapters for easy navigation through themanuscript. You have permission to print copies of thisdocument.Sir Richard Francis Burton (1821-1890) and FosterFitzgerald Arbuthnot (1833-1901) co-founded the secretKama Shastra Society of London, England and Benares,India in 1876. They also worked together translating two ofthe greatest love manuals of all time which they privatelypublished (for private circulation only) through the KamaShastra Society: theKama Sutra(1883) and theAnangaRanga(1885) both translated from the original Sanskrit.These were the first ancient Hindu treatises on the art oflove to be translated into the English language, but theywere so controversial that they could not be officiallypublished in England until the mid 1960s.In almost every country in the world there are people,usually men in authority, who believe they have the right totell you what you can and cannot read, what you can andcannot do, even in the privacy of your own bedroom. Thehistorical and continuing repression of sexuality is a seriousissue and it is time to be done with it, so let’s just have agood laugh about it and get on with creating and enjoying awonderful, healthy, joyous love life.

Kama Sutra of VatsyayanaFree Version from4 Freedoms TantraThe Kama Sutra ofVatsyayanaPREFACEIn the literature of allcountries there will befound a certain numberof works treatingespecially of love.Everywhere the subjectis dealt with differently,and from various pointsof view. In the presentpublication it isproposed to give acomplete translation ofwhat is considered thestandard work on lovein Sanscrit literature,and which is called theVatsyayana Kama Sutra,orAphorisms on Love,byVatsyayana.While the introduction will deal with the evidenceconcerning the date of the writing, and the commentarieswritten upon it, the chapters following the introduction willgive a translation of the work itself. It is, however,advisable to furnish here a brief analysis of works of thesame nature, prepared by authors who lived and wroteyears after Vatsyayana had passed away, but who still3

Kama Sutra of VatsyayanaFree Version from4 Freedoms Tantraconsidered him as the great authority, and always quotedhim as the chief guide to Hindoo erotic literature.Besides the treatise of Vatsyayana the following works onthe same subject are procurable in India:1.2.3.4.5.6.The Ratirahasya,orSecrets of LoveThe Panchasakya,orThe Five ArrowsThe Smara Pradipa,orThe Light of LoveThe Ratimanjari,orThe Garland of LoveThe Rasmanjari,orThe Sprout of LoveThe Anunga Runga,orThe Stage of Love;alsocalledKamaledhiplava,orA Boat in the Oceanof Love.1. The author of theSecrets of Lovewas a poet namedKukkoka. He composed his work to please one Venudutta,who was perhaps a king. When writing his own name at theend of each chapter he calls himself “Siddha patiyapandita”, i.e. an ingenious man among learned men. Thework was translated into Hindi years ago, and in this theauthor's name was written as Koka. And as the same namecrept into all the translations into other languages in India,the book became generally known, and the subject waspopularly calledKoka Shastra,or doctrines of Koka, whichis identical with theKama Shastra,or doctrines of love,and the wordsKoka ShastraandKama Shastraare usedindiscriminately.The work contains nearly eight hundred verses, and isdivided into ten chapters, which are called Pachivedas.Some of the things treated of in this work are not to befound in the Vatsyayana, such as the four classes ofwomen, the Padmini, Chitrini, Shankini and Hastini, as alsothe enumeration of the days and hours on which the womenof the different classes become subject to love. The author4

Kama Sutra of VatsyayanaFree Version from4 Freedoms Tantraadds that he wrote these things from the opinions ofGonikaputra and Nandikeshwara, both of whom arementioned by Vatsyayana, but their works are not nowextant. It is difficult to give any approximate idea as to theyear in which the work was composed. It is only to bepresumed that it was written after that of Vatsyayana, andprevious to the other works on this subject that are stillextant. Vatsyayana gives the names of ten authors on thesubject, all of whose works he had consulted, but none ofwhich are extant, and does not mention this one. Thiswould tend to show that Kukkoka wrote after Vatsya,otherwise Vatsya would assuredly have mentioned him asan author in this branch of literature along with the others.2. The author of theFive Arrowswas one Jyotirisha. He iscalled the chief ornament of poets, the treasure of the sixty-four arts, and the best teacher of the rules of music. He saysthat he composed the work after reflecting on theaphorisms of love as revealed by the gods, and studying theopinions of Gonikaputra, Muladeva, Babhravya,Ramtideva, Nundikeshwara and Kshemandra. It isimpossible to say whether he had perused all the works ofthese authors, or had only heard about them; anyhow, noneof them appear to be in existence now. This work containsnearly six hundred verses, and is divided into five chapters,called Sayakas or Arrows.3. The author of theLight of Lovewas the poet Gunakara,the son of Vechapati. The work contains four hundredverses, and gives only a short account of the doctrines oflove, dealing more with other matters.4.The Garland of Loveis the work of the famous poetJayadeva, who said about himself that he is a writer on allsubjects. This treatise is, however, very short, containingonly one hundred and twenty-five verses.5

Kama Sutra of VatsyayanaFree Version from4 Freedoms Tantra5. The author of theSprout of Lovewas a poet calledBhanudatta. It appears from the last verse of the manuscriptthat he was a resident of the province of Tirhoot, and son ofa Brahman named Ganeshwar, who was also a poet. Thework, written in Sanscrit, gives the descriptions of differentclasses of men and women, their classes being made outfrom their age, description, conduct, etc. It contains threechapters, and its date is not known, and cannot beascertained.6.The Stage of Lovewas composed by the poetKullianmull, for the amusement of Ladkhan, the son ofAhmed Lodi, the same Ladkhan being in some placesspoken of as Ladana Mull, and in others as Ladanaballa. Heis supposed to have been a relation or connection of thehouse of Lodi, which reigned in Hindostan from A.D.1450-1526. The work would, therefore, have been writtenin the fifteenth or sixteenth century. It contains tenchapters, and has been translated into English but only sixcopies were printed for private circulation. This is supposedto be the latest of the Sanscrit works on the subject, and theideas in it were evidently taken from previous writings ofthe same nature.The contents of these works are in themselves a literarycuriosity. There are to be found both in Sanscrit poetry andin the Sanscrit drama a certain amount of poeticalsentiment and romance, which have, in every country andin every language, thrown an immortal halo round thesubject. But here it is treated in a plain, simple, matter offact sort of way. Men and women are divided into classesand divisions in the same way that Buffon and other writerson natural history have classified and divided the animalworld. As Venus was represented by the Greeks to standforth as the type of the beauty of woman, so the Hindoos6
